This is how SVG is handled in webpack:

{
      test: /\.svg$/,
      use: [
        {
          loader: 'file-loader',
          options: {
            name: "img/[name].[ext]",
          }
        },
        {
          loader: 'svgo-loader',
          options: {
            plugins: [
              {removeTitle: true},
            ]
          }
        }
      ]
    },

So I import the file:
import './img/sprite.svg';
And for some reason I get this error:

ERROR in ./src/img/sprite.svg
Module build failed (from ./node_modules/svgo-loader/index.js):
Error: Error in parsing SVG: Non-whitespace before first tag.

What could be the problem?
